Opportunity overview

Transport for Wales (TfW) seeks to procure a supplier to deliver a Proof of Concept (PoC) that supports its transition from standards consumer to informed standards steward.

The supplier will be required to: Extract requirement-level obligations from a defined set of standards documents across multiple operational domains. Design and implement a visual, navigable knowledge graph that captures the relationships, intersections, duplications, and gaps across these standards. Provide structured metadata and classification to support discoverability and traceability of requirements. Deliver strategic insight into where TfW may need to: Adopt, adapt, or retire existing standards, author or commission new standards to meet operational needs Deliverables: A functional, interactive knowledge graph platform or prototype Supporting database and documentation detailing the standards mapping process Executive summary report highlighting key findings, risks, and opportunities Recommendations for scaling the system post-PoC
